Located in Winterhaven, this resort serves as a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the cold. It combines a relaxed atmosphere with a sense of community, making it a staple for seasonal visitors and weekend road trippers exploring the region.
Location & Surroundings
Situated right on the border of California and Arizona, the park provides easy access to the extensive services of Yuma while maintaining a quiet, waterfront setting. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rugged desert beauty and wide-open skies. The resort’s position along the river provides a natural oasis where guests can enjoy unique views of the water against the stark desert backdrop every single day.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the water, guests can explore the Imperial Sand Dunes, a world-famous spot for off-roading and desert photography. History buffs will appreciate the short drive to the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. Being so close to the international border, many visitors also take convenient day trips to Los Algodones for unique shopping and dining experiences. Of course, the river itself provides endless opportunities for fishing and boating right from the property.

Nice shady big oasis! Pulled in late had no reservations as it was an impromptu stop to see the area. Site was great for a 60ft pull thru. We booked online when we pulled in, after hours on a Sunday night. WiFi ended up not being able to accommodate our needs or wld have stayed a week. Enjoyed the huge outdoor lounge and refreshing pool, saunas and very clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. Lots of info of what to do and see around the area rivers locally, But not at the Rivers Edge resort due to renovation and conservation efforts it looked as tho it’s been a project in the work for some time. Hard to tell what the goal is for visitors to see or enjoy besides dirt and a torn up rivers edge on the property. Being so close to the busy season of snowbirds arriving. The river was the pull for us to stop and stay. Then the WiFi got worse with not allot people there. Our 5G cld only make it through 1/2 the time. I see lots of renovations have been made on the web site. I wld suggest upgrading your WiFi boosters. We did enjoy our time here. Just some hiccups and unexpected pluses. We wld stay here again.

We arrived to a site that was not properly displayed on there site. They moved us and it was OK. All the sites are dilapidated. Broken cement or brinks. The site we where in was not cleaned of leaves etc. The park itself is poorly maintained. We tried to use the laundry room and machines did not work. The coin you need to use the machine was ko. So we had to drive to the laundry mat in town. Maybe it is not the high time but there was no one on site to speak with. Closed on Sundays.

Stayed 2-1/2 weeks in April while having work done on our Jeep. Price of stay was a bit steep but it is California. Rooms meaning site - Spacious lots with large shade trees, which is a blessing in this climate. Service - Staff always friendly and informative. Location - Right over the border to Yuma AZ and Los Algodones Mexico. Easy access right off I-8. Nice walkway along the Colorado River. A few nice views, otherwise the vegetation/plants are over grown. I suggest they get rid of the invasibe plants. Nice large clean pool! Lots of other activities if interested. Did not use laundry room or showers. Nice easy drive to Imperial Sand Dunes, Salvation Mtn, Slab City, Salton Sea. We would recommend this campground and would stay here again.

We stayed here for a couple of weeks last December. First, even though we had a reservation, they closed the office 15 minutes early on our check-in day and left no info at the office for us. This park is very old and has become very rundown. The trees were nice for a desert location, this place has great potential if updated and upgraded, but everything has become very, very overgrown. There is NO ACCESS to the water--bullrushes and other grasses have taken over the whole shoreline and stand over 15 feet tall, there is no view, no beach, no boat launch. There used to be little sitting areas along the shore for viewing, but they've been allowed to crumble and rot and they've been overgrown. There were water pressure problems the whole stay. We had to fill the tank and draw from there to get any pressure. Our next door neighbour seemed determined to re-sod the desert and ran 8 sprinklers every day in an attempt to grow lawn. Management didnt seem to care enough to do anything about it. I thought this place, on a map, would be a perfect location, but you can not walk from this place to anywhere. On a positive note, while old, the pool and hot tubs are moderately well maintained and we did use them during our stay. The laundry facilities were clean and well kept.

This place is not great. Most of the people seem to be living here, which = a certain "climate" at the park. The front gate is not secure (it's broken, so they just leave it open), laundry is hit or miss and you need to use coins from the office, the pool isn't clean, the kid's play structure is about to collapse, and the RV sites have a lot of hazards. We wouldn't stay here again. (Stayed March 2025)
